"For centuries the bad decisions bosses make have often penalized the most marginalized. Now, the repercussions of these bad decisions are experienced in a new normal in which the silenced are silent no more." @erinblogan https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-07-10/column-cancel-culture-harpers-rowling-open-letter-apple-pie-america
"Furthermore, the lack of those marginalized voices in the upper echelons can force said companies to move hastily to rectify wrongs—the people who might have been able to address blind spots before they caused harm have for too long been denied access and decision-making power."
"The fact that people are even debating the existence of trans people is the epitome of cancel culture."
"I am literally putting the trajectory of my career at risk. Why? Because I’ve decided I’m not working in an industry that keeps canceling its Black journalists who hold it to a higher standard."
"Cancel culture is not about to go anywhere anytime soon. It’s as American as apple pie. Black people are still being killed on a daily basis by the law enforcement charged with protecting them. Trans people are being murdered simply because they exist. This is cancel culture."
Everyone get ready: If there is *any* justice in the world, @erinblogan will be your boss one day.
I happily signed on to the response letter, FWIW.
